Results

Guacamole is extremely simple to prepare.  I would suggest you have all of your ingredients prepared and ready to go prior to cutting the avocado as it browns very quickly, the lime juice helps prevent this so toss the avocado cubes in lime juice as you cut it up.  If you have leftovers, to prevent discoloration use plastic wrap pressed against the guacamole so no air is left between the guacamole and plastic wrap.

Variations

There are not too many variations on your traditional guacamole.  Lemon juice can be used in place of lime if you prefer.  Also, you can give your guacamole a little extra kick with cayenne pepper, garlic, red onions or hot sauce.
